Dance With My Father - Celine Dion (Grammy Version)

michelletian

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 憈il I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I抎 play a song that would never, ever end
How I抎 love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He抎 make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I抎 play a song that would never, ever end
慍ause I抎 love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I抎 listen outside her door
And I抎 hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I抦 praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don抰 do it usually
But dear Lord she抯 dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream
